Campbell climbs 204-ft tower to install New Spectrometer NoX

A recent NASA Earth Observatory blog article, "Springtime in the Deciduous Forest," details the work of Petya Campbell (618/UMBC) and fellow researcher Greg Cain (National Ecology Observatory Network), along with Fred Huemmrich (618/UMBC). The feature from the ABoVE's Notes from the Field explains that Dr. Campbell and Mr. Cain were at the top of the 204-foot SERC flux tower to "install a new type of instrument, an automated spectrometer called a NoX (Near Infrared Box)." Read more about how researchers will utilize the data from the NoX, as well as their study of the measurements of carbon dioxide from the forest.
